What's going on at the shipyard?

     We routinely wander through the shipyard when we go down town just to see what's going on. Today they had a two masted schooner on the lift. It was a big one,so I decided to take a few pictures. Note that this is post #750.


     The skinny guy by the front wheel is Dick Roth. Some of these rigs are big! There are a number of other boats in the yard in various states of renovation or repair. Lately there have been some big catamarans (4BR, 4Bath) and even a trimaran.



     I took a shot of the lift from under a catamaran. It is astonishing how much access the general public is allowed.



     As Dick and I were leaving the yard, we spotted a beauty tied up at the dock. The wood and brightwork just sparkled...and have you ever seen a smokestack cleaner than that?



     The services provided by the Front Street Shipyard have brought a nice clientele (and their dollars) to Belfast.
